Any ideas/suggestions welcome.
No, I don't send them home - like you say, they wouldn't come back.

Very often my 'sharing with home' is a sheet of information on eg a schema, a laminated song sheet, some verbal ideas for games, a photo of the child doing something to inspire parents, a paper plate and the bits to make a mask, a book and puppet over the weekend...

I use the section on my play plan to write down what I have shared each month - so I don't forget!
